[QUOTE="haruspex, post: 5326142, member: 334404"] Yes, that's true too. From what I read, the scattering of green light in air at 1atm. is 10[SUP]-5[/SUP]m[SUP]-1[/SUP], and blue light about double that. From that I calculate that about 4% of green light and 8% of blue light would never make it through. Taking the mean power loss as 6%, that would knock 1.5% off the surface temperature, or 4[SUP]o[/SUP] K. Edit: I forgot to allow for IR, barely scattered at all. So I would think the power lost would be no more than 4% in total. [/QUOTE]
